Hair Colour palette

i would seriously love a new hair colour palette i know it doesnt look like we will be getting new character customisation options but a new colour palette would be awesome the one now is just so lackluster ideally i just want some vivid colours or be able to make are own like a rgb scale thing to make are own colours now i have no idea how much work would need to go into this to make it happen or what it takes but surely it cant be to hard to make? any thoughts on this?

Like, I don't want neon hairs (ok yes I do, but I know it wouldn't fit with the game so w/e), but it would be nice if some of the brighter hair colors could be as saturated as the darker hair colors. 'Cause right now the lighter options are all pretty much white or grey tinted slightly red, yellow, or blue or whatever which makes all the light colors look the same in some lightings.

*puts on hat*
Yeah there's no bright colours at all!

I'll pretty much take any expansion of character customization options they'll give us, as long as they don't change it to a slider system because once sliders exist for everything I'll never be happy with my character again.

There isn't a nice looking red, nor brown.

We need more colours :<

Metallics :)

Yes, very bland colors!

Yeah, compared to your hair colors, the darker shades are far more saturated and vibrant in most lighting.
Example: http://imgur.com/a/Fb6Ip The lightest and darkest of the "saturated" rows. Most of the light colors look like white with subtly different shadows. The pinks seem to be a smidge stronger, but still look washed out compared to their darker versions. Contrasting the lighter colors, the darker colors (ok the greens are a tad similar) look like very different hues. Not to mention, they have the boon of strong gloss and deeper shadows that the lighter hairs are missing.


But of course, different eyes will see different things. I've tried both hair colors on my character, hoping for a bright and colorful look and found them to be washed out.


[insert segue here]

Ok but really tho.
This has been bothering me since ARR launched.

Why are some races missing the sky blue swatch set???!

Like it even causes problem with the highlight pallet (that is still completely different, why not give us those for our main hair too, SE?) since even it doesn't have the sky blue swatch set! So people using that set can't make subtle highlights for their character! D:

While there could always be more options, "washed out" colors actually fit in with the game's color scheme. Everyone has different tastes, but some colors are over-saturated and look out of place in the environment. They're starkly different than everything else, and having more "washed out" colors is more fitting for everything else present in the game. I honestly think too many options would allow players to be an eyesore. Final Fantasy games have usually been "pretty", maybe the limitations are to maintain that.

I wish there was a brown that didn't look orange, or grey :<

I'm aware of the game's aesthetic but

outside of Coerthas, this game's color scheme is not all washed out and desaturated.
Hell, they don't have to change the base light colors that much, they would probably just need to fix the how they're all flat colors with no highlights or shadows to make them look as deep as the darker colors.

Only issue I really have is that I wish some of the highlight colors were a bit brighter, like the main hair colors.

I would like it if there were more light colors that were less saturated but not grey at the same time. My character always had light orange or peach colored hair but with some hairstyles it looked like neon peach so I had to change it. I wanted a light orange that looks natural and not radioactive. But different hairstyles handle the colors differently unfortunately. I also wished that the highlight colors were also available in less saturated. Most are way too bright.

I want better browns and brighter red ;~;

exactly this i want a brighter red i wanted to change yesterday but the red is terrible now the highlight red is a nice colour ofc is no use if you want full red hair and also as other people have said a lot of colours are washed out i only currently use pink with white highlights or just pure purple and i just think with a better colour palette there could be so much more variety

I'd like a brighter blue hair color.

little weird tidbit but for Elezens you cant choose Red or Blue hair colors( only these darker versions of Red and Blue) the 2 hair colors appear on highlights and i can choose them both on a Hyur character but certain hair colors are missing on Elezens

I don't know about the males, but the females actually have the full color palette with the sky blue swatch set that other races don't have. It'd be weird if the males were missing those colors. ._.

I would like better blondes and browns personally. There's only 2 nice blonde colors before it goes straight to crayola yellow or tinted with orange undertones.

Male Elezens have a darker uglier shade of Blue compared to the shade of Blue on other races

Huh, I thought I saw something off with the blue swatch set when comparing the sky blue + and the sky blue - races. I guess it's even more obvious on the character than it is as a swatch. D:
Seriously, SE WTF? >_<

If they just added a saturation/de-saturation slider it would fix everything! for the makeups and lipsticks also.

Brighter reds would make my day. I'm pretty happy with this color, but if I could go a shade or two brighter without getting into fire engine territory I'd be even happier.

There's not even a good selection of "natural" shades of brown like most people have.

right come on yoshi lets get this done we need better hair colours even if that is the only new character customisation you give us it will be enough for me pleaseeee
